Nationalbok day!
Us teachers will be dressed as a character from a book. Hoping to see a Lady Godiva or someone from 50 shades but unlikely
I think I will probably go to work as a grumpy old sod.

Nationalbok day!
You’re a teacher?
Edit: Too slow 😆
Is this a South Afican national holiday?
Daughters school did it today, for some reason.
One of the (male) teachers went as The Boy in a Dress. Brave chap.
I'm dressing in a round rubbery suit, oozing blood.
A character from The Grapes of Wrath.
My 9 year old is going as Polly from the Mr Gum books.
My 5 year old is going as Elsa from Frozen, obviously.....
I'll just be wearing my PJ's as usual.

What CFh said ^
My boy is 10. He went in as "Boy in a Dress". My boy has more guts than I will ever have. He pulled it off with great success. I am very, VERY, proud of him.
Child no 3 wants to go as fantastic Mr Fox.
This mornings effort.

That's not me BTW.

Your wife's knickers.
Ginger child #1 was going to go as Ron Weasley. But he had a hair cut this evening. So it's now probably Tintin.
I'll just be wearing my PJ's as usual.
Ivan Denisovich, very good.
Hand bra and a towel from those ads a while back.
I thought I might wear the darker of my two best jeans tomorrow, and maybe a T shirt.
Is there a character in a book who wears a Helly Hansen survival suit and a climbing harness?
If so, I'll be dressed as him.
Any book characters wear a suit and tie? I'll be that one.
My boy is going to school dressed as Harry Potter... Me, I'm WFH so off out cycling 🙂
I can't remember if I left any trousers in my commute bag last night so it's a bit of a lottery.

Emergency shirt. It's black. Feel like Johnny Cash.
Bregante that's pretty nifty..
My two have decided to go as the popular Harry Potter and Dobby
Though our neighbour's lad came over last night asking if my son had a black lazer, apparently he meant black blazer - he's going as 007. Well a spy of some sorts in case you lot are wondering what a 7 year old is doing reading Ian Fleming.
Child no 3 wants to go as fantastic Mr Fox.
what the cuss?! 😉
Elder one has a tiger onsie. Tried to persuade him to go as Hobbes from the Calvin & Hobbes cartoons. Apparently not. He's gone as a Ninja expecting he'll be able to find a book with one in it in the school library.
Younger one has gone as Tintin, complete with quiff and an 18" long Snowy. Not bad for no preparation.
The boy - Thor
The girl - A princess
Pretty much happens at some point every day in our house.
Child no 3 wants to go as fantastic Mr Fox.This mornings effort.
Good effort Bregante.
Jr_Bandito #1 had the same idea (but with a simpler mask)

Little un went as Silky from the Faraway tree.
Ages were spent last night putting her hair in tiny plats so she had nice wavy hair when they were taken out this morning.
mini gonzy went as a pirate
Our two year old has not stopped going on about the monkey from Julia Donaldson's 'where my mum' so he has gone as a monkey. He would not sit still this morning for a photo so will try again tonight.
Hmmm.. our daughter just had to take her favourite book in to school to discuss it. No dressing up (thankfully).
My 5 year old is going as Elsa from Frozen, obviously.....
From the book...?
Isn't Frozen [i]supposed*[/i] to be based on "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen?
* (Disney changed the entire plot, characters, and motivations, but they did keep some snow).
Any book characters wear a suit and tie? I'll be that one.
Bond, James Bond.
Am I allowed to point and laugh at parents that sent kids to school in Star Wars outfits? Or don't I understand as I don't have kids?

…or someone from 50 shades but unlikely.
Fifty Shades of Grey boy, 11, causes stir at school
Lovely story that one. I reckon mum knew the school would be upset, but she made a fair point. It seems depicting violence is fine, but not sex.
littlest went has spiderman but I couldn't find his spiderman book this morning, eldest went as batman and took his avengers book, which hasn't got batman in, he did have iron man and spiderman outfits to choose from which [i]were[/i] in his book but no, had to be batman.
So double fail there 🙁
but rest of school seemed to have gone with the mash's version of bookday anyway so meh!
It seems depicting violence is fine, but not sex.
A few years I started watching a u certificate DVD with junior and there was so much violence I took it out, cut it in two and binned it (American film). On the other hand, more than a kiss and it would get a higher certificate.
Showing what happy, healthy, loving parents do whenever they get the chance is banned, but showing violent, illegal behaviour is not. We live in a sad world.
